Community Activities – August 24
Community Activities are organised by Covent Garden Dragon Hall Trust and Covent Garden Community Centre.
Our newsletter keeps you informed!
Activities in August 2024 and coming up later in the year…
Sept 6th – National Food Bank Day!
We set up a food bank at the height of the pandemic in April 2020. Unfortunately due to the cost of living crisis the demand for food support is as high as it was back then. I need your help!
To continue to support locals through the autumn and winter period I need to replenish our stocks and I can only do that with the help and support of people like you. If you could bring one of the following items to CGCC/7 Dials Club on Friday 6th September between 11am-4pm, it would help us enormously.
I need:
- Long Life Milk
- Tins of Chopped Tomatoes
- Tuna
- Heinz Soup: Any flavour
- Toilet Roll
Thank you for your support!
Jewellery Class starts 10th September
Bev’s very popular Jewellery class will be returning to CGCC @ 7 Dials Club on
Tuesday 10th September 2024 – 10:00 to 12:00
We are now accepting applications for the chance to join the Jewellery Class however, please consider the following before applying:
This class is always massively over subscribed at the application process so we ask that you consider whether you are able to commit 100% to attending all
12 weeks of the course as it’s really frustrating and unfair on people that missed out if people drop out after one or two sessions.

The really important bit…
This year there will also be a pre-sale: Monday 16th December will only be available to members who are regulars at CGCC/7 Dials Club and Dragon Hall.
